Ceramic fibre in 1990s: AES / Superwool
Read the condition on Ceramic fibre before the nickname. Year 1990s, line “AES / Superwool,” figure 1260. Primary Ceramic fibre carries process energy that recycling or bio-routes only sometimes beat.
This atlas treats Ceramic fibre as a system: mill route, coatings, tests and the cavity it sits in. Conductivity note: λ rises with T; still far below brick. Insulation score 80/100 is relative to 32 entries — metals lose, VIPs and aerogels win. Fire letter in editorial use: A1. Do not equate A1 with “safe in a blaze” or E with “illegal”. Assemblies decide.
Origin: 1940s–60s US/JP; EU RCF classification 1990s, United States / Japan / EU. The process chapter follows feedstock → conversion → forming → finish → install. Uses span buildings to defence / safety. Pairings matter: mineral-wool. Circularity mark 34/100. Ask which scrap, which certificate, which year.
Related atlas entries, a short glossary, and three threads that keep Ceramic fibre honest. Thin-film steel protection vs fibre wraps. EN 13501-1 reaction-to-fire letter (A1–F), not a wall rating. Thermal conductivity in W/m·K. Lower means better bulk insulation. Declared performance after blowing-agent or moisture drift.
The label keeps Ceramic fibre, 1990s, and 1260. “AES / Superwool” is the condition on the figure.1990s
